A wur of coiiquet-t just now seems to be popular. The recent victories of our navy have given some of ua an idea that the "Yankee nation can whip nil creation," and men talk as if the lime was near at hand when we can revolutionize and Americanize the whole world. Every piece of territory now claimed by Spain and upon which the Stars and Stripes have been and will be hoisted by our armies they say must he annexed. The question of an nexation will now lie tne leaning ques tion, and the tariff and other issues that have divided the people will be given a rest. The annexationists are termed imperialists., Just now the im perialists seem to be In the majority. But annexation is opposed and will be contested hy some of our ablest states men. When the people begin to thor oughly understand what i3 meant by a war of conquest and what the cost will be in' men and money, they may not be so unanimous in 'favor of it. An nexation of the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii will mean a large standing army and a navy that will be as good or better than that of any foreign nation. England's pres ent fleet cost $600,000,000, and we will want one a!y big, at an annual cost to maintain itf $200,000,OfJ0. The war is now costing 2,000,000 a day. If aur nexation is to lie the policy of our gov ernment, war taxes will be kept up et the close of this little affair with Spain; our army will never be less than jt is now, and pur young men, the best of them, will be -trained for war. It is well to study the points of this'great question, and before ' you take Bides with the imperialiists ba sure (he ob jects to be attained are worth the sac rifice. ' ' I The great city .of Chicago is without daily papers because "of- a strike among the Btereotypers. Newspapers ' are brought in from Milwaukee ' by special trains. Imagine wiiat a news famine there must be in that city (luring these exciting times of war. - ' The Fourth at Hood River. The fth in Hood River, like in every otherpart of the United Slates, was celebrated in a manner outstripping all f.irmn. r.i ifa t ir n o A mii fuT f,f rifll- ill! lutri iii-iiinvti'iiai a. vi j - , ..... "people were drawn to other celebrations wnere mure imposing veiemwuies vt ric promised. The prominent citizens wno arranger) the programme and saw that it was successfully carried out to the end deserve the thanks of the commu nity., (-There were no casualties no disorderly conduct, but ' everything passed oil' pleasantly, and a more pa ll ioticlpt of people never got rVigether in this Kind of the free and home of the brave.. y : To Jlr. W. P Watson, president of (lie day, and those who so persistoutly worked in harmony, with him, can be attributed the success of the celebration. At sunrise the big cannon belonging to Canity post .commenced to boom, and the firing was kept up at intervals all day. The day' was perfect, with a light western breeze. ' Teams from the country, containing whole families and their city guests, commenced to arrive in town at an early hour. Many busi ness houses were gaily decorated with the national colors, and nearly every mart, woman- and .'child, proudly dis played the red, white and blue. ' Catp. A. Winans, assisted by Prof. R; P.. AJIurd, took charge-of the proces sion which formed on Oak street, and promptly at 10 o'clock moved off to ward the grounds Itx re grove above town. The Hood River, brass band of eleven pieces led the procession with martial music that would be a credit to bands that had been organized more than a week. Company A,- Hood River Home Guard, composed of 50 young ladies, with flags in place of guns, marched next. The captain and the lieutenants wore "swords. The com pany, under command of Capt. E. T. Winans, proved to be well drilled in litary discipline. They went through 8 evolutions like regulars and march oft' like veterans. , It was the one ?at, feature of the celebration, and. tpt. E. T. Winans and others who in ructed the -girls deserve to be proud their work. Canby post, G. A. R , llowed Co. A, and then came citizens carriages. Arriving at the grounds, io ranks of the Grand Army were con derably augmented by comrades who ad been engaged in raising a flag pole, id when the- procession arrived Old lory was flung to the breeze. Mar lal Winans formed the brass band, b. A and Canby post in a hollow juare about the flag and the baud layed the StafS:pangled Banner. At. the grand stand the band was ,iven seats'on the platform and dis bursed good music after every address f in front and the Grand Army next in rn,n ,1..,. Unn... jvm luc ncaio man nun urcu JIIMIU- ed were quickly filled and many stood up and remained stanfling till the pro gramme was gone through with.' Rev. J. W.' Rigby, chaplain of the day, off'er ed an ek.quent prayer. Mrs. R. R. Allard recited the Declaration of Inde pendence from memory, a wonderful feat in elocution when the length and many just complaints against the tyran nyof George 1 1 1. contained in thlsitrand and historic document are considered. Mrs. Allard has a good voice, and it was distinctly heard all over that vast audience. The president of the day, Hon. W. P. Watson, then gave the opentng(addrei-s, which was replete with outbursts of patriotic eloquence. Veteran M. P. Isenberg followed with a short address iu which hispower9of oratory showed to good advantage, but those who heard him at the post meet ing say his speech on that occasion made his address on the 4ih appear tame. He said among other good things that he had just received word that Dr. Brosius, Dave Gibbons, Mai tie Dukes, his boy Howard and the other Hood River boys had taken Ma nila, at which he was lustily cheered. Rev. G. R. Archer followed with a brilliant address full of patriotic senti ment. He eulogized the boys of '76, of '61 and the patriotic impulse that went with the boys in blue now fight ing so gallantly at Santiago and Ma nila. Dr. Hi lies then gave an address, impromptu throughout, which was in tently listened to and pronounced by all to be as eloquent as anything ever heard from thi eloquent speaker. The occasion served to prompt the speaker, and the Dr. seemed to tie overflowing with patriotism and his words were full of praise for the brave boys at the front and the veterans of ' the late war oh both sides. He told of meeting with a prominent citizen of Hood River who was proud to say he had fought under Joe Wheeler. The Dr.said if lie had been a Grand Army man he would have taken his badge and pinned it oh the lapel of the ex confederate's coat. There were recitations by Ruth Rigby and Belle Wolfard and the audience ad journed for dinner. It was announced that Dr. W. L. Adams would give the closing address after lunch, but the Dr. was late in aching at thegrounds, in. d the base ball game and other at tractions had dkpersed the crowd so that itj, could not be collected. Veteran U. J. Hayes gave a few remarks and read a poem suited to the occasion. The Hood River brass band, which had organized only a week before, showed t lie memliers were well acquainted with their work, and Hood River is proud of every one of them. The following com pose the band: Dick Fisher, leailer, B flat cornet; Chris KicUelsen, B flat cor net; Win. Isenberg, B flat corpet; 8. E. Bartmess, solo E flat alto; Geo Rich, first alio; Walter Isenberg, first tenor; Lou Isenberg, second tenor; Grant Evans, baritone; H. A.

IN THE EVENING. The patriotic entertainment gotten up by the ladies of the Hood River branch of the Oregon Emergency corps took place at armory hall in the even ing. A large crowd was present and the evening's entertainment was a suc cess. The programme opened with a selection by the baud. Mrs. Aud Wi nans then gave an account of the Or egon. Emergency corps, beginning with its organization at Portland, on the 26th of April, giving a list of the branch organizations throughout the state,and slating its objects and aims to be for the purpose of tendering assistance and comfort to the Oregon regiment of sol dier boys now at the front with Dewey at Manila. The vocal music, lite prin cipal part of the programme, was in terspersed by a declamation by Mrs. Allard; an address by C. J. Hayes, de livered in the shape of a recitation; and a recitation by Ruth Rigby. The vocal music, some of it of local talent, was all apropos of our victories In the present war with Spain, and especially noticeable was the following new ver sion to the familiar Yankee doodle: ' Yankee Dewey, Ha! Ha! Ha! ' Dewey you're a dandy; With men and guns and cruisers, too, You're certainly quite handy. Mr. W. Ross Winans rendered a solo of his own composition, in which he took in Dewey at Manila, and Samson with the latest events at Santiago de Cuba, sung to the tune of Yankee doodle. . The special event of the evening was the drill of sixteen young ladies of Company A lu the manual of arms with representative guns of wood. Every command was executed with a regularity of military precision and skill, its appreciation by the audience being expressed by hearty applause. NOTES OF THE DAY. Remember the Maine. Catch onto that lirass baud uniform? All right, wasn't it? What's the Matter with the Hood River brass band? It's all right. The receipts at the three refreshment stands of the ladies' aid societies amounted to $160. r Eugene Bush vas appointed marshal at the gate to the grounds, and he stayed at bis post all day. v Although young America innocent ly enough helped to pay Uncle Sam's war expenses when he purchased his firecrackers, this by no means dam pened his'patriotic ardor. The base ball game on the 4th be tween Pine Grove and Belmont result ed iu a sco-e of 19 to 9 in favor of the former. This is the first lime iu three games between these teams that Bel mont has met defeat. , R. M. Hunt, chief of artillery, fired the big cannon the 4th about 25 limes, usinjt up three kegs of powder. Every time he touched it oft' be wished it was loaded with a shell and its muzzle pointed. towards a Spanish fort. At the exercises at the grandstand on the 4'h, just as W. Pi Watson had begun his address, a man named Camp bell, who recently purchased the Lee Morse place, was taken with a fit. The unfortunate man was cared for hy those near him, and after the excitement subsided Mr. Watson went on with his address. i E. S. dinger, O. P. McFall and J. P. Watson were appointed deputy mar shals on the 4th to look out for fires that might be caused by fire crackers and to preserve the peace. They were not called upon to arrest any one, nor were there any fires, but our city dads did right in appointing deputy marshals nevertheless.' Someone remarked that Company A, Hood River's military brigade of young ladies, surpassed anything for a lot of good looking girls ever seen. That of course went without saying, but did you notice the grace and precision with which the airls executed the intricate military maneuvers? A company of blue-coated regulars wouia have stood no show with them in a competitive drill. Our celebration here Monday showed plainly that Hood River's old timers or pioneer residents begin to form a con spicuous! v small portion of our present population. The good old days when everyone knew everybody else and the people used to pass the Sundays visit ing with their neighbors are gone, and Hood' Riverites have resigned them selves to the onrush of progress, that today has placed Hood River with its cosmopolitan population into the front along with the rest of the whirl and rush of the busy world..
